Lost

So Dougie R. doesn't like where Lost is going. I've got news for you: Lost isn't going anywhere. It will not make sense in the end. It will never get wrapped up. It's not an interesting show because there is some big mystery that we think we'll get to the bottom of, it's an interesting show because there are a bajillion theories, none of which make any sense at all.

Lost is the anti-reality show. Reality TV is wallpaper. It's background music. Artfully made but having no meaning in the real world. Lost as a TV show is sloppily made, and doesn't hold together, but the fun stuff happens on THIS side of the TV. All those fans on the internet.

I have it on very good authority that the creators and writers of "Lost" do, in fact, have NO IDEA what is at the bottom of all the mysteries and that they do make it up as they go along. Anyone who watches it regularly can see that that is the case, becuase things will just be thrown out there, and maybe it will stick, and if not, it can be explained away.

However, I still commend the show because it manages to be interesting with compelling characters and intriguing character development, even if I know that I won't be satisfied with the ending. Even if it weren't, it would still be far superior to watching any of the varities of CSI.

About Me

I'm writing a dissertation about French fascist movie reception in the 1930's. I was hit head on by a car while bicycling on March 8, and had my pelvis broken. One of these things is taking precedence over the other at the moment.
